The Revue de Droit Comparé du Travail et de la Sécurité Sociale has been published by the COMPTRASEC, UMR 5114 CNRS / University of Bordeaux since 1981.
It is a member of the International Association of Labour Law Journals (IALLJ), an international network for the exchange of ideas and publications on labour and social security law. Its aim is to contribute to the development and dissemination of analyses and exchanges on comparative, international and foreign labour and social security law, industrial relations systems throughout the world, and public policies on employment and risks.
Committed to a multidisciplinary approach, the Revue de droit comparé du travail et de la sécurité sociale is published four times a year.
Issue No. 1 of each year is dedicated to the publication of doctrinal articles in Social Law, known as “Studies”, submitted spontaneously by authors from various legal systems around the world.
The composition of Issue No. 2 includes a thematic section of “Comparative Social Jurisprudence”, doctrinal commentaries of “International Social Jurisprudence”, a “Chronique bibliographique” and a section of “Comparative Social Law Literature”.
Issue No. 3 is devoted to a “Thematic Chapter”, the subject of which is established as a collegial decision by the Editorial Committee.
Finally, Issue No.4, which is published exclusively in electronic format and in English, is a selection of the best articles published in French in the paper version over the past year. This electronic issue also includes a section entitled Comparative labour law literature, which aims to highlight, in a critical and reflective manner, the subjects that have attracted the attention of authors of comparative social law, thus revealing the trends in comparative doctrine.
In addition, Issues No. 1 and No. 3 of the Review contain a section dedicated to International Legal News, consisting of some twenty national and institutional columns. It allows for the identification of the most significant normative developments that have occurred in the last six months in countries in various regions of the world and in certain regional and international institutions. Thus, developments in Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Croatia, Denmark, Spain, the Russian Federation, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Romania, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey) is harmonized with that of countries in Northern Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia), Sub-Saharan Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Senegal), Southern Africa (South Africa), North America (Canada, United States), Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay), and Asia-Oceania (Australia, China, South Korea, Israel, Japan, Thailand). In addition, the analyses of the positions of the Council of Europe (through the European Social Charter, the reports of the committees of experts and the decisions of the European Committee of Social Rights), the International Labour Organization (from the perspective of standards activity and technical cooperation or even control bodies and procedures) and the United Nations (via the monitoring of the application of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and that of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights by the Human Rights Committee) are combined with the monitoring of the activity of the European Union.
